Looks very authentic.

Sneaky - although the URL that displays in the address bar should be enough to ring warning bells!

But they actually link to the (some of the) logo images and navigation section from the real site.

Well so what. Its nothing new, why report every scammers trick that comes out, I get masses of them, don't feel the need to start a thread unless theres something especially interesting about it.

And there never is..........

Nope, I don't normally either - this email just looked a lot more professional than most.

If it's stopped one person from giving away their login details, it was worth it.

And besides, it was fun giving them bull**** login details!! :p
